GBPUSD found resistance this week just above the 1.3900 handle and has extended the pullback from the 1.3919 high. The failure at recent highs highlights the importance of resistance relating to the former bull channel drawn off the Nov 2, 2020 low - the bull channel base was cleared Mar 23. The base intersects at 1.3930 and a strong break higher is required to strengthen a bullish argument. Key support and bear trigger is 1.3670.
